Hi from Australia

Hi guys and girls
Thought I would say hi

I have just brought a 77 c3 with a big block in it

I also have a c4 I have just fully restored (see c4 forums )

And it was time to add to the collection
I have ordered a dekoda dash and hydroboost for it already
I'm sure I'll have lots of questions like I did for the c4 guys

Have a great weekend

Dale

Is now fitted with ralley wheels

Hi Dale,
Nice looking car!
There a CF member from Australia that knows his way around 70s cars; I think he's in Canberra.

You might want to look him up!

Nice looking car! That L88 hood looks good on it. I recently bought a car with the hydro boost conversion and I think you will really like it. Welcome to the C3 forum.

FYI: Make ONLY ONE repair/modification at a time so your car doesn't sit on jackstands all summer (like my car

)

2025 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified

Welcome to the C3 world Dale. Nice blue.

Lots of great active contributors on this forum and excellent vender support. The collective knowledge should be able to answer most things that come up.

As Metalhead140 said a number of us from down under are regulars here as well. Always nice to catch up with local Vette owners.

Looking forward to seeing how things play out.

I did find this funny, that your one-and-only post is to say - you don't post very often
